US Iran War: After the failure of talks with Iran, Trump may want to teach Iran a lesson by blocking Hormuz, but the real thing is that if there is an American blockade on Hormuz, then the matter will be out of Iran’s hands. Then there will be direct interference of China in this matter, which will want to open Hormuz at any cost. Even if China has to go to war with America for this. Actually, there is a world of difference between the statements given by both US President Trump and the Central Command of the US Army regarding Hormuz. But the objective of both is the same. That is Iran’s economic disaster.

Trump is saying that he will blockade Hormuz and ensure that any ship which is crossing Hormuz by paying toll to Iran is stopped at all costs. At the same time, the US Army’s CENTCOM is saying that the US Navy will stop every ship in Hormuz which is either bringing oil from any port of Iran or is going to take oil from any port of Iran. Now no matter whose orders the American Navy obeys, whether it obeys Trump’s orders or Centcom’s orders, it will be certain that Iran will not be able to sell its oil to anyone.

Iran suffers so much loss every day

If this happens, Iran will suffer a loss of approximately $276 million every day, which it earns from selling oil and gas. Because oil and gas are the only things by selling which Iran earns about 80 percent. If America closes Hormuz, Iran will be economically devastated. To avoid this disaster, Iran is still trying its best and is opening and closing Hormuz on its own terms.

The loss due to American occupation of Hormuz is not only for Iran but the biggest loss is for China. Because in the whole world it is China which buys the most oil and gas. 45 to 50 percent of the total oil purchased in China comes through Hormuz. About 30 percent of the gas used in China also passes through Hormuz.

Why can China interfere in the Strait of Hormuz?

China not only buys its oil and gas from Iran but also from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE and Qatar. But everyone has the same path and that is Hormuz. And as long as Hormuz is under Iran’s control, China has no problem because its ships are always leaving Hormuz. Recently, China’s Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun has also said that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open to us.

Dong Jun has said- ‘Our ships are continuously coming and going in the Strait of Hormuz. We have trade and energy agreements with Iran. We will respect them and expect others not to interfere in our affairs.

This statement of China’s Defense Minister has come after the threat by US President Trump, in which Trump had said that he is going to siege Hormuz. And this statement is like a direct warning to Trump, because American occupation of Hormuz would mean that half of China’s oil and gas supply would be stopped immediately.

Now China has sufficient buffer stock. Russia also buys large quantities of crude oil through the ESPO pipeline i.e. Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean pipeline and natural gas through the Power of Siberia pipeline.

Despite this, if Hormuz is closed, then China will also be able to face neither the shortage of oil nor the shortage of gas for a long time. And under compulsion, it will have to enter the field again to open Hormuz, the result of which may also come in the form of direct conflict with America. Right now Trump and his friend Netanyahu are not able to handle Iran together, if China enters this scene then the whole game will change, which no one would want.

Amidst the war raging in the Middle East, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that the increasing tension between Israel and Iran could become a fire. A fire that no one can control. He has appealed to Israel and Iran to stop the war and move towards peace. Meanwhile, an important information has come to light. Israel has accused a reserve soldier of spying for Iran. He has been arrested.

It has often been heard that a large number of Israeli spies are present in Iran. But Iran’s spies are present in Israel. He is leaking information related to Iron Dome.

time shifting. Even if only after 80 years. America had dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima. It has been more than 8 decades since that happened. More than 2 lakh people were killed in this. Now the same American administration is urging Japan to counter Iran’s growing nuclear ambitions. However, meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Japan has met the President of America.

What appeal has Trump made to Japan?

America is urging its allies to become participants in the ongoing war in the Middle East. Japan is also included in these. There is confusion about this in European countries, while now America’s President Trump is emphasizing on Japan to play an active role in this war. At the center of America’s appeal is the Strait of Hormuz, an important route for oil and gas supplies to the world.

It is expected that Trump can appeal to Japan to deploy anti-mine ships (called minesweepers) and naval forces. So that it can help in securing and reopening this route. The conflict with Iran has now entered its third week. Public pressure has definitely been created regarding this. Arguing that Japan is more dependent on Middle East oil. The security assistance provided by America for decades compels it to take action.

Why is Japan withdrawing from this war?

At the center of it all is the nuclear attack on Japan 80 years ago. After the war, Japan has moved towards pacifism and nuclear disarmament. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has admitted that talks with Trump will be very difficult. They are facing legal and political obstacles in their country. This also includes the pacifist constitution of Japan. This limits the use of force to self-defense only. The public’s viewpoint is also different from Trump’s request. A recent opinion poll revealed that only 9% of Japanese citizens support US and Israeli military action against Iran.

On what conditions can Japan fulfill America’s demands?

If seen globally, if Japan meets America’s demands, then it wants assurance from America that Washington will maintain its commitment towards the Indo-Pacific region. Japan views China as a growing security threat. Especially the areas around the East China Sea and Taiwan. Japan has recently expressed concern about the increasing movement of Chinese troops towards the Middle East. Japan has termed this as a weakening of the regional security system. Here, the world is keeping an eye on the summit to be held on March 19. After all, on what grounds does Japan accept America’s request?

Japan’s Prime Minister met Trump amid war

On Thursday (March 19), Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met US President Donald Trump in Washington. In this meeting, the threat looming on the global economy due to tension between Iran and America, security of the Strait of Hormuz and bilateral trade agreements have been mainly discussed.
